Not run this early...

Not run this early (7am) since... well on strava was going to say since my walk of shame days but as it's a charity I'm running for this month, I toned it down to look a bit more respectable and said since my clubbing days.

Shorts we're up my front bottom the whole way but not too many people had to bear witness. 



Book has gone from where I put it yesterday so either a fox took it or possibly a person.

Good deed: picked up litter.

5 reasons to get outside and run right now

1 .You never know what you might find  Dirty knickers, money and sex aids are just a few things I have found on my runs. Get out there and get hunting. Don't pick up anything too dodgy though, if you find a huge stash of cash it is advisable to send it to me and I will take it to the police...probably. (Honestly they are not mine....) 2 .You will get encouragement from strangers It is amazing what a smile, nod or little wave can do for your self esteem when you are running, especially when it comes from another runner. You feel like you are in it together and part of a team even when you are on your own. Beware of accidently stalking other runners to keep up with them, they don't like it. 3 .You get the benefit of fresh air Yes, initially you will feel like you are going to pass out and your lungs might burst, but then you will hit a natural stride and you will feel on top of the world while breathing in all of the goodness around you. Well, providin

Mile by mile: Half marathon thoughts...

Image
Mile 1: I’m here, I’m ready, I feel great. Going to smash this in no time! Probably should have trained harder than doing a few 5k’s but I’m sure it will be fine. It is 5k 4 times, plus a little bit - easy. Mile 2: To make sure I get to the end I will try and keep up with someone with a similar pace, I will try to not be too obvious. Mile 3: Someone must have moved the mile 3 marker. The distance from 2-3 miles was much too far, the runner I was copying seems to have disappeared. I will look for a new mark. Mile 4: Over 5k done, quarter of the way there if my maths is correct. Get in! I’m flying through this. Mile 5: So 5 miles is halfway to 10 miles, when I get to 10 miles the end will be in sight. I’m feeling amazing.   I’m going to book a marathon as soon as I have finished! Mile 6: Nearly halfway, I have a new runner I am following, think I am annoying him as he keeps looking back at me and my noisy hydration vest. Mile 7: It is very hard to drink and run. Choked and sp

Homefield Park run review

Image
Where: Homefield park, Worthing Difficulty: 3 out of...out of a score I've not really put too much thought into. Let's go with 5. Difficulty: 3 out of 5 Loops of park to get to 5k: I worked it out to be about 0.8 per loop so however many that is, 6ish? First ever run around this route, nice and simple, some slight slopes. Difficulty rating is high because of all of the dogs running around.  Not sure who has right of way, me or the mutts. Glared at a couple and think I came the closest I have ever been to being bitten.  Hospital is visible on part of the route, which makes you appreciate the fact you are not in there. Though, after struggling for breath at one point, it might have looked like I should admit myself.  If you like animals, this is one for you, with countless dogs and squirrels to dodge, you won't be bored.  (That blurry ball of fluff is a squirrel.) If you don't exhaust yourself there is even an outdoor gym to get stuck into. (Covid
